Ironically, this line could be cast even on the Circa.Д«ottom line: This line has very limited appeal and we canвЂ™t recommend it for most casters.

Loads rods fast and lives up to its name and gives casters easy distance.

Still, the negatives of this line are huge and we canвЂ™t really recommend it.ДЄnother note: this was the first line we weighed and we decided that we needed to change the way we did it, so weвЂ™re missing a few data points on this line. Frankly, if youвЂ™re willing to cut the last 30вЂ™ off of your brand new $85 line, itвЂ™s actually pretty nice on faster rods. It does actually give us some easy distance, and surprisingly (after seeing the weight) didnвЂ™t turn the Circa into a total noodle (though it definitely felt heavy). This line didnвЂ™t have much of a chance out of the gate, but we cast it anyway.

ItвЂ™s got a head weight of over 250gr (190gr at 30вЂ™), which is HUGE for a вЂњ5-weightвЂќ.

First, even with a mere 10 yards of backing, the line wouldnвЂ™t fit on the reel. When we first rigged it up, it was pretty obvious that this was no ordinary line. The 40+ certainly stood out in this testвЂ¦ and not in a good way. ItвЂ™s designed to shoot line, yet (presumably) retain a bit of presentation. The Airflo 40+ possesses a very long front taper, a short belly, and virtually no rear taper. The Hype: With its easy loading 35' head and low diameter running line, you'll soon be reaching for the horizon. This makes them float better, but it also makes them squishy and hard to measure. That means that Airflo lines have more air inside for any given weight of line. Second, Airflo lines have larger diameters. This means that they are not round and when weвЂ™re talking about 1000ths of an inch, it makes a big difference. Please note: While our taper diagrams are really great for most lines, they didnвЂ™t work as well for Airflo. Below you'll find our opinions as well as taper diagrams for the most popular Airflo trout lines.
